Dust Streak always had a thirst for adventure, so when Princess Luna asks her to retrieve a powerful artifact from the depths of the Zebrican Desert, of course she jumps at the chance! But things get complicated with the arrival of a power hungry fortune seeker, a dark and mysterious cult, a few bandits here and there, and a secret Luna is hiding from all of Equestria... Joining her on this quest, are Gilda, a Griffon with a temper, and Tails, a Warg with a past he's not willing to reveal...

(Note: I came up with this idea before the Daring Do episode, so enjoy a Daring Do themed story, without Daring Do...)

After seven years of civil war, Equestrias a different  place... cities have crumbled, forests have been burned, and pony's have died...

This is my first fic, so tips and help are greatly appreciated. This also foreshadows my next fic, which will have the stories of many more characters, and will go through the start of the war to the end.
